HANS KOLLER & FRIENDS - Big Sound Koller (LP)

Unique material by one of the most important European postwar jazz musicians being released here for the first time. Tenor saxophonist Hans Koller and his Big Sound' recorded live in Hamburg 1961. In addition to his classic quartet, Koller invited six brass players to the set, making arrangements sound more colorful and rich. Great modern jazz featuring Ack Van Rooyen, Rudi Flierl, Klaus Mitschele and Rolf Schneebiegl, with Karlhanns Berger on the piano chair, including previously unknown compositions by Koller, Berger and Hans Hammerschmid. Big Sound Koller was a real sensation, exhibiting honesty, straightforwardness and musical imagination' (Jazz Podium magazine 1961)
